Rod McQueen the then editor of "Soldier of Fortune" as far back as 1978. Claimed Israel's Nuclear Arsenal was a threat to life on earth for a number of reasons.
They were all in one location - Mat Zachariah - 20 kms south of Jerusalem.
There were 800 of them.
I've checked my own sources. Mat Zachariah stands-up as the location. Which does surprise me. Given how close it is to the West Bank.
800 warheads - total production over 40 years. This may have been the originally programed number. 80 warheads active? I'll take that with a large pinch of salt.
Israel has to come clean for a number of reasons.
They have since the 82 invasion of Lebanon got themselves steadily off-line with the EU.
The USA is reducing its own nuclear arsenal. The USA subsidises Israel. Sooner or later that subsidy is going to be cut. Reporting from Washington — As U.S. and Israeli officials talk publicly about the prospect of a military strike against Iran's nuclear program, one fact is often overlooked: U.S. intelligence agencies don't believe Iran is actively trying to build an atomic bomb. A highly classified U.S. intelligence assessment circulated to policymakers early last year largely affirms that view, originally made in 2007. Both reports, known as national intelligence estimates, conclude that Tehran halted efforts to develop and build a nuclear warhead in 2003.The most recent report, which represents the consensus of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, indicates that Iran is pursuing research that could put it in a position to build a weapon, but that it has not sought to do so.Although Iran continues to enrich uranium at low levels, U.S. officials say they have not seen evidence that has caused them to significantly revise that judgment. Senior U.S. officials say Israel does not dispute the basic intelligence or analysis. Here is your evidence that makes a mockery of your stance of defending a state with a secret WMD program.
israel should sign the NNPT and allow in inspectors or quit its paranoid warmongering posture towards iran.
i.e. israel should look in the mirror and practice some self reflection, and see the true source of this collective projection.
